Right... Microsoft, after spending more than a decade and billions of dollars to embed themselves in the living room, is going to suddenly abandon not only that strategy, but the entire mass consumer market.

Next gen in itself could be the last of console gaming, I think there would be a market for a hybrid PC/Console for parents that don't want their kids having full Internet access, but the masses will eventually switch to PC

If anything I think the general market is switching to Tablet like devices. I have a feeling the only people using PC's/laptops on a regular basis are for work, students, or tech people. I love having my imac, but I probably spend at least 5 times as much time on my phone/tablet than i do the actual computer. which is mostly just used as storage and backup for all my music and pictures.

Well I don't game on nor own a gaming PC, but I really do think PC gaming could take over. The reason I don't play On a PC is because my friends don't and gaming isn't fun to me without playing with them. But can we all be mature about this and admit PC > Console when it comes to performance
